Kurama: All AnonymousHieiFan101 takes credit for is her three OCs and story plot.

Neko/Kitsune/Ookami: ON WITH THE FIC!!!

Awakenings and More Training

-Reader's POV-

Kurama and the gang made it to Ookami/Natalie (remember they'er the same person ppl!) just in time. Kurama used his rose whip and severed the demons arm. Yusuke then stepped in with his spirit gun. Kitsune and Neko screamed at the site of there freind being tossed like a rag doll. It was a pitty that Natalie left her motorcycle at the dojo, but she wanted to walk with her freinds and there was no way three people could ride on ther bike at once.

Kurama ran over to his sister and gently picked her up. Yusuke went to get her bag with ger two original katanas that she had obviously dropped during the fight. Hiei notised the dojo swords on the ground covered in blood and the sheathes cast aside. He went over and picked them up. He then proseeded to whipe the blood off and sheath them. Hiei was a bit surprised that Natalie would have such fine blades with her, but then again he and the others still didnt know about her secret training.

At this point the ever slow Kuwabar was just arriving. "Hey! You guys didnt leave any for me to kill?" he asked in his usual whiny voice.

"Sory Kuwabar, but when we got here ther was only one left." answered Yusuke. "Natalie must have fought and killed the rest...obviously."

"WHAT! How the heck is that possible? She's just a little girl! How much damage could she possibly cause?" Kuwabara retorted.

Kurama was now walking over to the group with a limp little sister in his arms. He knew Natalie's freinds by their real names so he adressed them as such. (Neko=Lacy, Kitsune=Laura) (AHF101: when i said Ookami didnt know about demons but she fought them in the forest when she met Genkai, it was because she didnt know they were demons. They were descised as humans as these were.) "Laura, would you be able to give any reason as to why these people would attack you?" Laura shook her little blond head no.

"Hey, Shuichi?" it was Lacy. "Ookami's gonna be okay, right?"

"Yes, I believe so. It appeares she has only been knocked unconscious and her other wounds shouldnt take too much time to heal." he answered.

"Yo Kur-er...Shuichi," said Yusuke. "I think these guys were drunk. Probably just lookin' to see if they could get there hand on any hott girls." Yusuke gave him a comforting simi-smile though he knew the thuggs were demons. Everyone but Lacy, Laura, and Natalie knew this but they kind of figured Yusuke was right considering that the scent of alcohol did cling to the air. They all left to go back to Kurama's house and they made Lacy and Laura come to. They could leave in the morning. Hiei stayed behind and when he was sure the girls couldnt see, he disposed of the demon corpses with his fire abilities.

-The Next Day-

-Ookami/Natalie's POV-

I felt myself slowly coming into consciousness. I wearily opened my eyes to find that I was back in my room. The same black walls and ceilling with the same TV accross from the bed. The large sterreo system along the wall with the door leading to the hall, and the small dresser beside it. I cautiously sat up in bed as the events of last nite re-entered my mind. As I looked over to my right towards the window, I noted that the sun was just peaking over the buildings in the horizon. I then notice the sleeping form of Shuichi in a chair not far from my bed.

'He must have been there all nite...' I thought to myself.

Warrily I slid out of bed and made my way over to him. I was amazed that I could keep my balance with such a head-throbb as I was undergoing at the moment. I knelt down beside him and gently shook him awake. His eyes fluttered open and as soon as he noticed me I found my self in a gentle, yet constricting embrace.

"Mom doesnt know does she?" I asked, praying that she didnt.

"No, we were able to get you in last nite and luckily mother had already retired to her bed room. I didnt expect to see you up and about so soon." he replied as he released me. As his eyes met mine I knew that he had been worried at least a little. That lifted my spirit some, seeing as how I never really was a very good sister to him. "Im curious however, how did you manage to fight off seven men that were at least three times your size?" had that look in his eye that said, I-figured-out-what-you've-been-up-to-and-wer're-going-to-talk-about-it-whether-you-like-it-or-not.

I sighed and breifly explaned about my training sessions with Master Shin, though conviniently leaving out the part baout meeting Master Genkai let alone knowing who she was. I then proceeded to explain what happened last night. Then I suddenly remembered that I had left my motorcycle at the dojo so I could walk with my freinds.

"Shuichi, I left my new bike at the dojo, would you go get it for me? I would, but then again that my not be such a wise deision, beside the fact that I know you wont let me." I scowelled at this thought. 'Chances are he wont let me ride it for at least two weeks...'

"Sure, I'll go get it right after you eat some breakfast." He was always acting more like a father towards me rather than a brother. I nodded and started to follow him downstairs when I noticed I was still in my training gi. I told him to go on down while I changed clothes. When I came down shortly after I was wearing black with green bondage pants and an Evanescence T-shirt, over witch I had a black zip-up hoodie zipped three-fourths the way up with the words 'Anime Addict' across the front in silver letters. I noticed that Neko and Kitsune had spent the nite and were sacked out on the couch, but everyone else was awake. It seemed my mom had left early that morning to run some arrands.

"Uh... hey guys." I said calmly. I realised then that my tone of voice was rather depresing. Probably had something to do with my brother having to come save me from a fight that souldnt have happened. 'I'll have to go see Master Genkai today. I did after all finish my training under Master Shin. Guess I'll go this after noon.' I then noticed that everyone was starring blankly at me. Their thoughts were plastered clear as day on there faces, 'Shouldnt she still be knocked out cold?' Yep that was what they were thining. You could see it in their eyes. Someone was missing from the group though. 'Hm...wonder were that one dude that was dressed in all black went? I think his name name. Suites him. He was so quiet and didnt seem to like being here among these fools. Hiei does mean 'something' shadow...dang if only I could remember the first part of what it means...' My thoughts carried on as I made my way to the kitchen. I felt eyes following me. My brother's freinds were still staring at me in the same way. 'creepy...' I thought as I quickened my pace finaly feeling there gazes lift from my back. Hiei and my brother were talking in the kitchen as I walked in.

"Hey..." I greeted in the same depressing tone. Hiei looked at me in the same way the others had as I opened up the fridge to get some juice. As I turned around I noticed and I had to admit I was getting anoyed from this look everyone except Shuichi was giving me. I glared back with cold emotionless eyes as he continued his conversation with Shuichi as though I wasnt there. I deside to go ahead and leave for Genkai's then.

I left the kitchen after ending up not getting any juice. I walked up to my room, grabbed my bag, placed my black training gi, two dojo swords. sketch-pad, pencil, pencil sharpener and a couple other trinkets in my bag as well as my fighting shoes(you know, the black slippers that look like they should be used for dancing.)and put on my skateboarding shoes. I grabbed my cell-phone just incase, and proseeded downstairs and into the kitchen to tell my bro I was leaving, also grabbing my skate-board as I left my room.

"Hey Shuich?" I said as I entered, hoping I wasnt disterbing something important between him and Hiei.

"Yes?"he said, looking up from his conversation with Hiei.

"I'm gonna go to a freinds house for a little bit. I've got my cell-phone so we can stay in touch and if its gonna be dark before I get back I'll either call you or stay there. Sound good?" I didnt really care what he said, I was gonna go no matter what.

"I suppose..." he said hesitantly. I then turned on my heel and left. Snatching my front door key from off the coffee table I left the house locking the door behind me. I hopped on my skate- board and headed full speed for Master Genkai's Temple, accasionaly flipping some simple tricks here or there as well as some board-slides on the accasional bus-stop benches. All in all I'd say I made pretty good time getting to my destination. I saw the huge flight of stairs and sighed. I thn proseeded up them, eventually making it to the top. As I did so I was met by an elderly woman that wasnt much shorter that me. I aproached, stopping about six feet away from her. She looked at me demandingly.

"Master Genkai?"I said carfully. She nodded and I bowed. "I am Natalie Minamino, we met in the forest about eight months ago." This seemed to refresh her memery of me fully.

"Ah, yes. So, I assume you have completed your training under Master Shin." she said with her scratchy and calm voice. I nodded. I guess my eagerness should more than I thought because she smirked and seemed to chuckle slightly. "Very well. I allready have an apprintice, however you may stay her and I will train you if you would like."

"Yes Master Genkai. I would very much enjoy that. It would be and honor."I replied almost instantly. She laughed good naturedly at my eagerness to learn all that she could teach me. I smiled, something I very rarely did. Normaly it was a slight smirk and that was all, but getting to train under Master Genkai had been my dream ever scince I found out who she was.

"Follow me." she said. I did and she lead me into the temple. It was traditional Japanese and I loved it. "This is Yukina. Aside from your training, you will help her cook, clean and etcettera in order to earn your keep in staying here." I nodded, letting her know I understood and agreed. Yukina seemed nice enough. Genkai then lead me to another room. "This is where you will be staying." I looked inside and it was once again traditionaly Japanese with the mat thing on the floor to sleep on. It also had a door to a bathroom and a door to a closet. "Tomarow you will begin your training with me. You will wake up at 4:00am and run six miles. If you have extra time then you can do whatever until 5:30am. You will then go and help Yukina in the kitchen. after that you will train with me until noon. You will help Yukina prepare lunch and then train with me more until. 6:00pm which is when you will help Yukina cook dinner. After that you and I will finish our training for the day and at 8:30pm you will tidey up he dojo after which you will go to sleep. When next you wake up the process will begin again." She turned to me and I nodded.

"Thank you Master Genkai." I said. She smirked and walked down the hall agin mummbling something that sounded like, 'If only the dimwit had her manners, and showed me respect.' I then retired to my room and desided to call Shuichi. I pulled out my cell-phone and dialled the house number.

"Helo?" Shuichi answered.

"Hey, Shuichi."

"Hey sis! Is everything alright?"

"Ya, its all good. Um listen, Im gonna be stayin' with this freind of mine for a while and I promise I'll call to check in. Oh, and dont worry about school. I'll figure something out."

"Well can I at least know where you are?"

"Sorry but I dont htink thats such a good idea. Dont worry. I'll be fine! Bye!" I hung up before he could find some way to protest. I looked at the clock on my phone and it said 6:00pm. I desided to go see if Yukina was cooking dinner yet. If she was then I was going to get a head start on 'earning my keep.'
